Field of Diamonds

Song

NOTE: I did a tab of this song when it first came out. I have recently found this old tab

of mine and have made many corrections to it. I wanted to in the past but could never

find it until now - AUGUST 2019 - to do so. It was the UG TEAM who submitted it under

TAB instead of CHORDS.

The new version is now the one I have placed here and is correct. Please keep this in

mind when rating this tab as it is now a 5 star tab in my opinion. Unfortunately, there

were some bad ratings previously before these changes were made and that is why this tab

is not a 5 star rating at this time but will be again with your help. Thanks

SONG: FIELD OF DIAMONDS

ARTIST: JOHNNY CASH
